Well, folks, I disapprove of Azwildcat’s language, but I do agree with him and DownunderKilt that retiring the Saltire is somewhat premature.
I understand that Jamie wants to be less involved in X Marks, but I cannot see why the Saltire can’t continue its travels.
And whatever you gents want to say about its “around the world” travels, it has certainly not been around the world.
In fact, Zardoz’s remark about travelling outside Texas being international only underlines the insularity of the whole thing.
We need a symbol like the Saltire to emphasise the internationality of X Marks, and parking it permanently at Bicknell Grange is not going to do that (nor will keeping it at Jamie’s house).
Regards,
Mike
